Our Crossword Puzzle is called Famous Skeptics (3).
126 December 2020 Famous Skeptics (3)
It’s a belated follow-up to our earlier Famous Skeptics Crosswords published in December 2014:
December 2014 SKEPTICAL CROSSWORD PUZZLE
and in July 2016:
Of the twenty-three people featured in this month’s crossword, all but one are different to the twenty-six skeptics of the 2016 crossword. That common link, fittingly, is James Randi.
There’s also a new batch of Picture Puzzles, Mixed Bag Questions (Trivia/General Knowledge), and a Logic & Maths Problems set with worked solutions.
All on the PUZZLES PAGE.
Enjoy!
